"Geographische Oefeningen; of Leerboek der Aardrijkskunde, met XX Genommerde Kaarten...",

This student geography book by P.J. Prinsen includes 23 folding maps with extensive explanatory text. The book is divided into lessons by continent and country, with each chapter ending with review questions. Each map includes major topographical details and political boundaries. Nomenclature on the maps has been omitted and replaced by roman numerals that force the student to identify important places on the map. The maps include the world, climatic zones, North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Oceania, Europe, and 15 maps of countries or regions in Europe. The map of North America shows exaggerated mountain ranges, with the Rocky Mountains extending from Alaska all the way through Mexico, the Appalachian Mountains extending from Maine to Florida, and another mountain range extending along the west coast from Washington State to the tip of Baja California. Third edition, published by Johannes van der Hey and Son. 335 pp. Blue paper covers.
